  • The question in your text is different from the one in the title. What exactly do you want to compare? Satipatthana with Maha-Satipatthana? Or just Maha-Satipatthana with other sources?

  • Is this a freely available book? Where can I get the whole thing? Also looking for a comparison within the Tripitaka also. Aug 8, 2014 at 9:36
  • The whole book is available in the link I gave above or, alternatively, here. In addition, you can find most of what you are looking for in A History of Mindfulness by Sujato Bhikkhu.
